Size guide for custom sportswear

Our charts use body measurements, so measure the person, not a garment. How a piece fits also depends on its cut and fabric, which is why every order starts with a sample you can try on.

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure. Keep it level and snug, but not tight.

Chest: around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms.
Waist: around your natural waist, the narrowest point.
Hips: around the fullest part of the hips, feet together.
Underbust: around the ribcage, just under the bust.
Inseam: from the top of the inner leg down to the ankle bone.
Height: standing straight against a wall, without shoes.
Head: around the head, about 2 cm above the eyebrows and ears.

If you're between two sizes, or right on the line, go by the chest for tops and by the hips for shorts, pants and leggings. Size up if you prefer a looser fit.

Adult and unisex sizes

Janletic Sports size chart. Body measurements. Updated November 2026.

Players taller than 168 cm (66 in), or with a chest over 34 inches, use the adult chart.

Sizes by country

Adult letter sizes (XS to 5XL) mean the same in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, so use the adult chart above. European numbered sizes for men are roughly half your chest measurement in centimeters.

Our adult sizes follow US teamwear grading, with about 4 inches (10 cm) of chest between sizes. Many UK, European and Australian brands use smaller steps, so the size you wear from another brand may not match ours. Go by the chest column, not the label.

A 100 cm chest is about size 50.

Numbered sizes vary between brands and countries by up to one size, and French and Italian labels often run higher. Use these conversions as a guide and our measurements as the rule.

Go by height and chest, not age. Children of the same age can be two sizes apart.

Sock sizes for each country are in the socks chart above.

Shorts, pants and leggings

Use the waist and hip columns in the adult, women's or youth chart. If your waist and hips point to different sizes, go by the hips.

For pants, joggers and leggings you choose the inseam, and for shorts you choose the leg length. Send the length you want in inches or centimeters and we'll confirm it on your sample.

Baseball and American football pants use the same waist and hip sizes.

Sports bras

Go by the underbust first, then check the bust.

Compression and cycling

Compression wear and cycling kits use the adult and women's charts, but they're cut close to the body. If you're between sizes, the smaller one fits firmer and the larger one more relaxed.

How each garment fits

The charts above are body measurements. This is how each garment is usually cut around them, unless your design asks for something different.

How each garment fits
Garment	Usual fit	What to order
Basketball jerseys and shorts	Loose, with deep armholes and a longer body	Your chart size. Shorts are sized by waist
Soccer and rugby jerseys	Regular, closer to the body	Your chart size. Size up for a looser fit
American football jerseys	Cut wide to go over shoulder pads	Your chart size, measured without pads
Flag football and 7v7 jerseys	Closer, with no pads	Your chart size
Ice hockey jerseys	Cut wide and long to go over pads	Your chart size. Goalie jerseys are cut wider
Baseball and softball jerseys	Regular, button-front or pullover	Your chart size. Pants by waist and hips
Volleyball jerseys and netball dresses	Close fitting	Your chart size
Wrestling singlets	Skin tight	Your chart size. Between sizes, take the smaller
Cycling jerseys and bibs	Race fit is skin tight, club fit a little looser	Your chart size in the fit you choose
Compression shirts, rash guards, leggings, sports bras	Skin tight	Your chart size. Between sizes, the smaller is firmer
Hoodies, sweatshirts, quarter zips	Regular or oversized, as you choose	Your chart size, in the fit you choose
Jackets, tracksuits, varsity jackets	Regular, worn over a layer	Your chart size, measured over a t-shirt
Polos and tees	Regular	Your chart size

Garment measurements

These are measurements of the finished garment, laid flat. Chest is measured across, 1 inch below the armholes. Length is from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem. They're our standard patterns. If your design asks for a different fit, your sample shows the measurements for your order.
